Cat:

To: NICAP
Animal
Reaction Feature:
Coyotes
were reported howling loudly during a sighting of a large stationary triangle located
an estimated 12 miles from the witness.
Coyote howling was also noted the previous evening. [September is a
major “howling” season as young-of-the-year are dispersing and communicating
back and forth and with their mother.—jw] The witness was taking her dog out
when the lights were noticed. When asked about animal reactions, she did not
mention the dog, only the coyotes. [I assume this means the dog did not
react.—jw]
The sighting:
The
witness, 21, took her dog out around midnight when she saw a bright object at a
45 degree elevation and estimated the object to be about 12 miles away. She, her mother, and a friend watched the
lights hover in place for almost an hour.
The skies were clear and a full moon and Mars were visible.
The
triangular formation of 4-5 lights was arranged with the peak of the triangle
facing downward. The lights, assumed to
be on the outer edge of a triangle, flashed in sequence, initially slower and
later faster. The color of the lights
changed: pinkish-red, blue, white, yellow.
The apparent size of the object was less than ˝ that of the full moon.
The observers discontinued watching as nothing further occurred except the
object drifted from its original location.
No
EM effects, no sound, and no physiological effects were reported.
